that there were 30 days to make repairs. we did have significant opportunity to improve but i'm not sure that accurately reflected the time it took to make the repairs. i think there were some reporting back to 311 as well as our own internal reporting as far as the maienancean making the repair and getting into the database. for simple outages, the simple currently looking at andare internal metric of seven days to make those repairs. a street light goes out, whether and of off-on, or compte burnout, we're looking at seven days to get it repaired. you heard earlier about t issues of identifying the streetlight and who it belongs to. we have to go through and verify we are not maintaining and other entities street light as well.

we are committed to keeping the street lights on in the city of san francisco as well as the rest of the state where we on this street lights. we are lookingat capital improvement projects here in san francisco of 23 streetlightcircn 1100 strt lights. this is where we will be making a $25 million investment over the next five years. this is to modernize the street light system. it's a cornerstone of this initiative, to replace the street lights served by what we call our regulated output loops. it is basically upgrading the system to a standard streetlight system. customers should experience a few were burnouts, fewer

problems with the new were upgraded system anthey will expeence improved lighting. >> in terms of the type of lighting, is that being coordinated so thattheights are hopelly going to be the same kind of lighting? >> we're hoping to go to an led system. we are looking to go to that, or at least a high-pressure sodium white. supervisorwiener: wou hope that the t agencies would coordinate on that so they are notdierentdepending on what blocyou liven. >> as well as light to light, that's a challenge as well. we will partner. for this year, 2012, we are looking at replacing 387 lights. this is about one-third of our series streetlights system.

we are loing toegin wor on this sometime in the third quarter. it is currently in the design stage. supervisor wiener: it's about 1000 tt u have? >> 1100 in the next five years. we should have the streetlights converted. more detail on that -- we are looking at cementing a little over $min to upgrade the lights and the remaining will be over the next three to five years. as far as our longer-term strategy, we are looking at the general rate case and looking at our ability to replace lights with led's. thais our longer-trm strategy. we are presenting that in the 2014 rate case to the california

public utilities. supervisor wiener: what was the number? >> i don't have the number and fronter -- in front of me. >> all of the street lights that are non historic will be replaced. supervisor wiener: thank you. questions? >supervisor wiener:n terms of maintenance, i haveheard the #$40 million. i'm curious to know if that's accurate. > i don't have that >> that is something we could get back to you on. supervisor iener: i'm sure it is a fair amount of deferred maintenance. >> i'm sure it's a significant number. supervisor wiener: what ithe

plan to address deferred >> we have gone through a little bit of a change and hopefully for the better. we've changed our street light go out and make the actual repairs to the streetlight, we have moved it from my organization to the first responders. we are actively going out, especially with the folks at night, looking for the folks that are out in the known areas where we have known ownersh of the lights and we are making repairs then. we are looking for longer-term opportunities to treat a streetlight outage much like we do any other average, so that's one of the tng that will be coming hopefully in august. supervisor wiener: you talked about reducing thaver

repair broken lights. is there a particular goal in terms of the average number of days? >> it's seven days for a simple repair. some of the other longer-term repairs will take longer due to the nature of e work. if it's one of these series street lights, those typically take longer. >> when do you anticipate having the average repairs down to seven days? >> we only have to tell our > 14. >> -- superviso wiener: in terms o the records, they e paper records. >> that's right. supervisor wiener: are you going to convert that to an electronic database? >> yes. we're bringing in some of the higher priority issues first but we are investing heily in that

>> -- supervisor wiener: with a year, will there be some more is at all or nothing? >> i'm not sure. i will have to geback tyou. supervisor wiener: that seems like knowing who owns what,that is very helpful, so i hope that can happen even sooner. allink it would make us the happier. supervisor wiener: if you ould fill out the cards. supervisor olague: are any of

these power through the solar energy? system. supervisor olague: i'm wondering if in terms of cost and efficiency of thatsointo look at. >> all of our lights are powered by our source and it's a 100% rel por source. is our same house, same call. -- it is our hch hetchy power. supervisor wiener: in terms of moving toward the pedestan great lighting, have you been thinking about back as well? it takes a coordination to make sure we are all moving in one direction. can you talk a little bit about th

>> we may haveome challenges thei. our regulations are street power for t street d t necessarily a pedestrian. we should look at how we can help the communityere. >> it is a standardized process we're looking at stanrdize tariffs that leaned more toward ro lighting. one tng we have done is to try to work with sta to identify lights that better f san francisco. it will be difficult to adopt that as our protocol because we have different cities with different protocols for lighting. >> what would be the impediment to having a different standard

for the operation than elsewhere? >> it is a matter of efficiency. we're trying to identify the standards and something we strive to do but giving -- given the planning we have to keep in co anoperatnal flexility,rying to meet city needs. we have tried to identify which flights are being used by the fit with our needs. >> you do have approximately 's an unequocal goal of the and san francisco to have pedestrian grade at lighting, so in terms of serving the needs of san francisco, i think it is critical that pg& start moving

toward pedestrian great lighting. what i would hate to see is having the puc acknowledge we should move in that direction and do it can to get there in the long run and then have pg&e keep doing the mistake of the past i think it's really important that the goal of pedestrian great lighting be embracein san fnc. i could understand if we were a tiny town -- you can't have every single town, but we're one of the largest cities in the san francisco. -- one of e markets with the largest lighting needs. i think it's important to embrace that. >> we are striving to meet the

city's goals. i should clarifyat all cities are equired to be treated equal as part of the code. to the extent we are offering a customized service, we would have to offer it to another city. our goal is to identify alighting styles and changes we can make to meettheetter streets plan, but i'm not sure a formal approach would come immeately. is something we can work on. >> -- supervisor wiener: are you saying the code would prohibit &e from having infrastructure that fits san francisco's needs and it has to be one size fits for the entire area? >> we are required to treat all

cities equally. the offering of services to one see that's not offered to another might violate that ce. >> -- supervisor wiener: i'm not asking for san francisco to get special treatment, but this is a place where on not a lot of lot of people walking on the sidewalk at all hours of day and it's different from suburban areas where i grew up where we did not have sidewalks. it's not about special treatment, it's about acknowledging the lighng needs of a particular location so that if there is any work that has to be done, i'm sure we can work together to get permission. is that something you would work for the city on? >> absolutely.

supervisor wier: any questions? thank you very much. we will now open the floorto blic comment. i have a free public comment cards. >> tnkoufor calling this everyone for your presentatn. i was frankly surprised to hr that in the fourth quarter of last year, the estimate of closing repairs s 2.6 days and a statement that pg&e is down to just seven days to make a

reir. i think we are aware there was a terrible crime committed on fair oaks street. i'm ith the fair oaks community coalition. reported a street t ou 11 and see you ownedi and when iw to called the next day, i was told it was a pg&e poll and would repaired as soon as possible. 10 dayslater, the repair had still not been ma and a vicious xual assault was perpetrated by a man who grabbed a man across 24th street under bright streetlights and en dragged r ro t intersection to the darkness under that burne out light to attack her. when i called the next day to

told there was no report of was such a cla of an outage. i gave the no. i was given and was told that was incorrect. i ink attention must be paid to shortening the time for those repairs. supervisor wiener next speaker. >> i'm a resident in the mission district and i have lived in san francisco three and a half years. t entire time i have been working to get street lighting improved to replace colliding with something more adequate.

that is a designated king lane and for the safety of the commuters as well. the number of lights and intensity of lights are completely inadequate. the street lighting in that area, street lighte the primary source of elimination and it is completely inadequate. after about a year-and-a-half of effort, if i could put something on the screen here, the puc ordered pg&e -- the intensity of the lighting basically needed to be doubled to improve safety and that order onseptember 1, nothing happened. nothing has happened. this is a high crime area.

this is a safety issue and residents deserve a safe street lighting. i have communicated back and forth with ontario and i was told that when pg&e decided t upgrade the lighting, this street was not selected. i have to ask the question why and i have to ask the question who do we have to work with to have safe streets because this is completely inadequate. thank you. community coalition. oaks adding to what was said that earlier about the attack that happened in december, just this ast weekend, we had another situation where an individual was accosted under pooy lit

situation two doors from my front door. to the extent that there iany thing we as citizens of san francisco can do to push forward this pestria lighting program, that is what we want to put our efforts on. on our stree there is a conflict with trees and lights and pedestrian lighting is the way to deal with it. we like to express strong support for what you are doing and however we can help. supervisor wiener: thank you. and the other public comment? public comment is closed. i think you wanted to say something? >> i wanted to try to clarify r little bit. to ourowledge, we don't know what the process difficulty was but we actually received

information from you, the day following the incident and when i had thatinformation, to prepare at light. d a person we were not aware there was a light out. so i do want to try to clarify that. i work with residents quite often to identify suitable solutions. one of the issues was an issue of brightness and we determined that required an upgrade to the circuitry. therwas a request that went to mta and came back to us and our understanding was the cost would be borne by the city unless we were to repair it as part of t rplacement plan.

we identified the ones with the most frequent burnout and tried to find a metric that was unbiased. we want to identify areas with high crime and that is a priority as well but we do not have tremendous information aout crimes happening in various districts. identifyg the frequency of burnouts and operating that way -- supervisor wiener: i would like to thank everyone for coming out today. even though there are disagreements and different perspectes on things, in the end, we have a grouping of agencies and we are all responsible asa groupor providing adequate lighting to the city. i know that bot puc and pg&e

are working hard for he city i want t make sure we are continuing in that direction and that we continue to improve response ti continuously to reports of burnt out lights repling some of the problem lights and that is a very short term and getting in e lights coded to improve the efficiency of repairs. but i 12 stress the importance of moving toward pedestrian grade at lighting. i know it's a long process and not someing that can happen overnight. but in the long run, it can happen and it is frustrating when you see ligs being

non- pedestrian grade alights and that's why in my conversations, i stressed we need to be is being upgraded and replaced moving toward pedestrian grade lights, otherwise we will never get there. ihas to be gradual and overtime, even if that means you have a mix of pedestrian grade and non-pedestrian grade. thank you for coming out today. this is the beginning of the conversation. can we continue this to the call of t chair? >> without objection, we will continue this to the call of the chair. thank you, erybody and thank you for your patience. i know this item was scheduled for last week. are there any other items in front of the committee today? >> with that, the committee is

adjourned. >> welcome to culture wire.

we will look at the latest and greatest public art project. recently, the airport unveiled the new state of the art terminal. let's take a look. the new terminal service and american airlines and virgin america was designed by a world- renowned architecture's firm. originally built in 1954, the building underwent massive renovation to become the first registered terminal and one of the must modern and sustainable terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of

five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light

and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here, you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata. as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there is a dynamism. >> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger, mysterious mass. >> the environmental artwork

livens it with color, light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended. these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is beating like a heart. if-0 when as of the forces of nature moving around us every second. >> shadow patterns reflect the shapes of the hanging sculptures. the new terminal also features a children's play areas. both of the market the exploratory n.y. --

exploratorium. the offer travelers of all ages a playful oasis. using high quality plywood, they created henches shaped like a bird wings that double as musical instruments. serving as a backdrop is a mural featuring images of local birds and san francisco's famous skyline. >> in the line between that is so natural, you can see birds and be in complete wilderness. i really like that about this. you could maybe get a little snapshot of what they are expecting. >> it is an interactive, keck sculpture that is interacted with
